CROKER VERY CANDID.

cific railway, and an old resident of Cali
fornia, was before the Pacific railways com

the matter, and was an exceedingly frank
witness. He said the Central and Finance
company got about all the stock Of the rail
way at that time for building it, and that
this method paid in the end. He did not
know how much he made out of the road,
hut the commission might gamble on the
proposition that he made all he could. He
could not remember the details OF what the
road had done but be was not ashamed of
any of his acts Every thing he had
touched had been successful He had bene-

money himself The hest way to arrange

Cotton letters. Mr. Cohen, counsel for the
road objected u them. but Mr. Croker took
them and said md,fferently: Il don't re-
member them, but they sound very much like
me- "
When asked what was the ability Of the
company to pay its debt to the government
he said; None whatever He added that
the company intended to pay some time and
h. suggested that the government give them
say 100 or $50 Years in which 10 pay it He
declared that the government had not kept
its contracts with the company, and this was
the reason the company conld not pay SO

OBJECT TO that TWO CENTS.
Arguing Discrimination Case BEFORE the
Interstate Board.

Interstate Board.
CHICAGO, Sept 2l-Tuesday morning
counsel for the Louisville, New Albany &
Chicago railway appeared before the inter
state commission to answer the charge of IN
just discrimination made by David T Allen
and others, of Frankfort, Ind He laid down
the proposition that there was no unjust dis
elimination, as averred by the com
piaInant, in charge of p cents a
hundred for the transportation of grain
from Frankfort, Ind, to New York,
when the rate from Indianapolis is but
% cents hundred, alteit Frankfort
is nearer to New York by forty seven
miles. He maintained that the two services
were not like, and that they do not, there
fore, properly come under section of the
inter state CONNER GO act that prohibits dis
elimination In prices for like" service. He
also argued that there was no discrimination
in this case, as all shippers from Frankfort
to New York are charged - cents per 100
pounds.
Counsel for the Frankfort shippers argued
that the suit was properly brought because
the discrimination enabled indianapolis ship
pers to reap greater profits for their labors
than Frankfort shippers, which difference
is aimed at by the interstate act
